Release Candidate Readiness Summary¶

Author: Techrevati doo

This page is the decision boundary for 0.3.0rc1. It separates the current release-candidate readiness from stable production readiness.

Current Status¶

0.3.0rc1 is locally and server-gate ready for release-candidate review. It is not stable production-ready until the remaining external evidence is collected: final diff review, remote CI, security review, private RC publication, controlled RC pilot evidence, and rollback proof.

The current local/server gate evidence is recorded in the release candidate inventory. A green local/server gate is necessary but not sufficient for stable 0.3.0.

Current practical assessment:

local/server technical readiness: 91 / 100,
private RC readiness: 86 / 100,
stable production readiness: 78 / 100.

The remaining gap is mostly external proof, not local code confidence. The next work should prioritize final diff review, remote CI parity, security sign-off, private RC publication, controlled pilot evidence, and rollback proof before more broad local hardening.

Release Decision Boundaries¶

Private RC publication can proceed only after:

final diff review is complete,
reviewer handoff is complete,
local/server production gate is green,
remote CI is green on the same commit,
remote CI validation checklist is complete for the same reviewed commit,
security review checklist is complete and signed off before private RC publication,
release artifacts and SBOM files are verified,
private registry or controlled artifact channel is ready,
private RC publication checklist is complete,
public package index publication is explicitly out of scope.

Stable 0.3.0 can proceed only after:

the controlled RC pilot is complete,
the pilot execution checklist is complete,
rollback proof is complete in the pilot environment,
rollback execution checklist is complete in the pilot environment,
there are zero P0 incidents,
there are zero unresolved P1 incidents,
pilot usage and cost evidence is explainable,
pilot telemetry and durable evidence are complete,
completed pilot evidence template is attached,
completed rollback proof checklist is attached,
stable promotion record is approved,
the go/no-go decision is recorded.

Private RC Go Conditions¶

Before tagging v0.3.0rc1, verify:

pyproject.toml, CHANGELOG.md, and docs/changelog.md all reference 0.3.0rc1,
local/server full production gate passes,
remote CI passes on the reviewed commit,
security review is approved with no unresolved high or critical findings,
wheel and sdist pass distribution checks and twine check,
SBOM JSON and XML are generated,
runtime audit taxonomy checks pass for governance breaches, permission denials, guardrail violations, rate-limit stops, validation failures, prompt rejections, max-iterations stops, and cancellations,
private publish credentials are managed by the CI secret store,
private package repository URL, username, and password/token are present in the CI secret store,
no token, password, or registry credential is committed or printed.

Stable No-Go Conditions¶

Do not promote to stable 0.3.0 when any of these are true:

any P0 incident occurred during the pilot,
any P1 incident remains unresolved,
remote CI has not validated the release commit,
controlled RC pilot evidence is incomplete,
rollback proof is incomplete,
public branding guard fails,
secret leak guard fails,
dependency vulnerability guard has unresolved high or critical findings,
public package index publication is being attempted before pilot approval.

Remaining Blockers¶

Current stable-release blockers:

Blocker	Status	Required evidence
Final diff review	Open	Reviewed release-candidate diff by subsystem and completed reviewer handoff
Remote CI validation	Open	Green CI and completed remote CI validation checklist on the same reviewed commit
Security review	Open	Completed security review checklist with no unresolved high or critical findings
Private RC publication	Open	Published private wheel/sdist and repository release evidence
Controlled RC pilot	Open	Completed pilot execution checklist and pilot evidence template
Rollback proof	Open	Completed rollback execution checklist and rollback proof checklist
Stable promotion	Open	Approved stable promotion record with fresh external evidence

These blockers are not defects in the package. They are external production evidence gates that must be closed before stable release.

Evidence Checklist¶

Stable release evidence must include:

full production gate output,
remote CI status,
remote CI validation checklist,
security review checklist,
release artifact verification,
SBOM JSON and XML,
private RC publication evidence,
pilot operations evidence,
terminal failure-class evidence for policy, safety, quota, validation, prompt rejection, cancellation, and runtime hard-stop outcomes,
pilot execution checklist,
controlled RC pilot evidence,
rollback execution checklist,
rollback proof checklist,
stable promotion record,
go/no-go decision,
reviewer handoff checklist,
final changelog and release notes.
